Some of My Best Friends Are Goats

We reached Town Square and still had a little time to kill, so we hopped aboard the Omnibus next.

I think the top level of the Omnibus offers possibly the most unique views of Main Street available. I LOVE this attraction.

When we made it back to the hub yet again, we disembarked and walked over to the Refreshment Corner (where we had said we would meet Kathy and Jake).

We passed some adorable ducklings on the way.

Once again, we had a nice little chat with them about everything they had done so far today. They both get up at 4:00am to go to work most days, so they are DEFINITELY early-risers. Doing rope drop seems like second nature to them and they always get so much done in the mornings (I wish we could hit the parks in the morning sometimes…). They were already about to head out for the day, so we thanked them for thinking of us to pass off their spare Radiator Springs Fastpasses to once again, and we went our separate ways.

Tracy and I continued sitting at the Refreshment Corner for a little while and ate the Uncrustables we’d brought to complete our lunch. Then we went over to Big Thunder Ranch.

Pancho was in jail, unfortunately.

He was still just as cute as ever, though.

Clarabelle was out in the petting pen, and she was VERY busy licking this rock…

We went into the Jamboree briefly to see if anything was going on, and while we were there, they started to walk one of the horses out through that area.

Heading back into the Ranch, we decided to go into the goat pen. We were petting several of the goats when we came across Jane.

She quickly became our new best friend when we discovered just how much she likes to be scratched between her shoulder blades.

BEST FRIENDS.

After we probably spent at least 10 minutes fawning over Jane, we decided to move along. It was already almost time for our Racers Fastpasses, so we got ready to hop. We stopped for a few minutes on Main Street to watch the Hook and Ladder Company perform.

Walt’s home.

Hopping to DCA, we decided to get another Cotton Candy Frappuccino from Starbucks. Our drink took a little while, but we were very impressed with the Disney style writing the cast member/barista did on our cup.

After we’d finished most of our drink, we started toward Cars Land.

We got Luigi’s side, but we lost… Tracy and I both posed like pretty princesses.

On the way to our next destination, I happened to look down and see this water main cover on the ground. I just liked how it had my name on it.

We headed to Hollywoodland next and took a picture at the Monsters University area even though there weren’t any monsters there at the moment.

Hopping to Disneyland next, we decided to ride the Monorail for a full loop. On the way over, we thought it was really funny that there was a REAL seagull hanging out with the fake “mine, mine, mine” seagulls. He did NOT like it when they started talking.

For dinner, we wanted to try the special limited time Pulled Pork Hot Dog at the Refreshment Corner.

That’s pulled port and coleslaw on top, and it was DELICIOUS! Easily our favorite hot dog we’ve had at that location, which is why we were sad it was a limited time offering…

Tracy was already thinking ahead to Halloween and considering going as Rapunzel, so we headed to Fantasy Faire for her to try on the Rapunzel hat they sell at the store there.
